worth it ?

Risk? Are risks really worth it? Well, some may say that it really depends on the situation. In life, there certainly will be risks in everything we do, depending on the level of it which we take. For example, you risk being knocked down by a car when crossing the road, you risk drowning when u swim in the pool, you risk food poisoning when u eat outside, you risk being rejected by the friends you make. But does that mean we stop eating outside, swimming in the pool or be a hermit by isolating ourselves.

When you take risks, you out yourself in a vunerable position or you might say on a chopping board, where you might be hurt. The degree of vunerablity depends on the level of risk you take. But is it really worth it? Maybe it's subjective. Some may choose to stay in their comfort position, some may be adventurous to go ahead, some may just move along one step at time, but ultimately no one can do without any risks at any point of time.

But i think it would more painful to look back regretting that you've nvr tried at all. I'll be more at peace with myself than not having to try at all. Till date, i'm still glad that i've nvr walked out from situations that require me to do so. Be it trying for university, army OCS, running team, friends, relationship etc etc, i'm glad i did. Was it tough? yea no doubts bout it.

But did i just put myself on a chopping board..?
